cannot read key "net.ipv6.conf.default.stable_secret" in sysctl?

Hi, I am using kernel

[root@router ~ ]$ uname -a
Linux router 4.2.5-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Oct 27 08:13:28 CET 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux

and I noticed that every time I do a `sysctl -a` piped into a command say grep I received following message

[root@router ~ ]$ sysctl -a | grep no_meaning
sysctl: reading key "net.ipv6.conf.all.stable_secret"
sysctl: reading key "net.ipv6.conf.default.stable_secret"
...

Run cat on these files:

[root@router ~ ]$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/stable_secret 
cat: /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/stable_secret: Input/output error

[root@router ~ ]$ ls -hl /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/stable_secret 
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 24 14:57 /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/stable_secret

Is this normal? Thanks in advance

No idea if it's normal,but it's the same on my system.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
